GREENBURGH, N.Y. - A 30-year-old Spring Valley man was charged with driving while intoxicated after being found asleep at the wheel of a running vehicle at the intersection of Dalewood Drive and Central Avenue, police said.

When a Greenburgh police officer responded to a call on Feb. 11 at 2:10 p.m. he detected a strong odor of alcohol from the breath of Alex Lajoie and his eyes were blood shot and glassy, according to police records.
